Explanation

Jojoba esters are the ester matter produced in the seed of Simmondsia chinensis. Tagua nut is a product made from the very hard white endosperm of the seeds of certain palm tree species in the genus Phytelephas native to South America, which are the most important sources of tagua nut. Dende oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of the oil palms, primarily the African oil palm Elaeis guineensis. Guayule is obtained from Porthenium argeratum.
